Description

microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity; phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in autophagy of mitochondrion; cellular response to nitrogen starvation; and macroautophagy. Located in autophagosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; limb; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glioblastoma. Orthologous to human MAP1LC3A (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
